For the time that followed, the Star Hunters' actions did not stray beyond Lin Xiaodao and the others' expectations.
However, after suffering that "massive loss" last time, Lin Xiaodao had every reason to heighten his guard.
In the following days, the Star Hunters made several furtive raids, but their results were far from ideal.
The Myriadstar Field suffered no further losses.
After their first huge haul, the Star Hunters no longer seemed to be in any hurry.
Every haul they obtained needed time to be processed, sold, and moved.
Their astralships also needed time to replenish their miniature stellar sources.
What the Star Hunters themselves did not know was that one of Li Tianming's most important plans had already succeeded!
When the Star Hunters had stolen several hundred ownerless stellar sources last time, vast quantities of Silver Dust had been hidden inside them!
While the Star Hunters were celebrating with unrestrained joy, it had taken the chance to infiltrate quite a few astralships.
Before those astralships had even left Silver Dust's sensing range, it had quietly followed several important Star Hunters into the core ship, the Wuying.
However, just as Silver Dust spread out and concealed itself inside, the Wuying and the other astralships left its sensing range.
That portion of Silver Dust immediately entered hibernation.
Once the Wuying returned to its sensing range, those dormant individuals would awaken again!
Every time the enemy drew near Swordgod Star in their subsequent attacks, it became an opportunity for Silver Dust to split and expand anew.
With that, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaodao gained an even firmer grasp on the Star Hunters' movements.
From then on, they waited for an opportunity to unleash a thunderous killing blow.
If they did not move, so be it. Once they moved, they would wipe them
